Israeli settler runs over a Palestinian woman in Hebron

A Palestinian woman was injured tonight after being run over by an Israeli settler in the neighborhood of Tel Rumeidah, in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, according to witnesses. An Israeli settler riding a motorbike rammed his bike into the woman, causing her bruises and cuts, said the witnesses. She was provided with medical care by medical personnel at the scene of the attack. Meantime, Israeli settlers attacked several homes in the neighborhood and harassed their inhabitants. There were no reports of injuries. Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank, and is backed and supported by the hard-right Israeli government. There are over 700,000 Israeli settlers illegally occupying portions of the West Bank in violation of international law and established norms prohibiting the relocation of the occupying power’s civil population to the land of the occupied.
